Having aired on national television, the show confused some casual fans who weren't familiar with The Smashing Pumpkins and Billy Corgan's long history with Disney.[2] Noting the band couldn't play just "any weird old Smashing Pumpkins song", Corgan elaborated on his affinity for Disney: "I work in the world of professional wrestling, and when you’re a big fan of professional wrestling, they call you a mark. So I’m a Disney mark. I collect old Disneyland items. I have stuff from back on the opening day in 1955. So when they called me to come play Disney, I’m like, whatever you need."[2]
